The color of the first serial crossover LADA XRay brings the wind of change: we welcome the orange X Ray

In last year's ranking, the Lada Xray hatchback took tenth place among the most popular models on the Russian market. In 10 months, 29 thousand cars were found to have owners. The figure seems to be good, but other Lada models sold much better. The first place belongs to Lada West, which sold more than 86 thousand copies. During this period, car enthusiasts purchased 80 thousand copies of the Lada Grant. Among its relatives, the XRay model occupied almost the last place (Lada 4x4 is only slightly inferior). That is why the company decided to change the configuration and revise the starting prices.

AvtoVAZ has announced prices and specifications for the 2022 Lada XRay Cross in a new body; the changes can be seen in the photo. In addition to the original appearance with protective plastic elements, the new crossover has a special interior configuration and a wide range of equipment. The package also includes a completely new driving mode switch.

Attractive shades and colors of the new crossover Lada X Ray

The new Lada X-RAY crossover went on sale in the first quarter of 2016. As for the color scheme, it will include 7 colors.

Surprisingly, the color of a car can tell a lot about its owner. Especially if the driver is a person who has spent more than one year behind the wheel and has changed several models. For example, the color black indicates respectability and weight in society. White is a sign of triumph, celebration and joy of life. For some reason, red is recognized as inherent in women's style. Blue and green are chosen by people who do not want to stand out from the crowd. Gray tones for true practitioners who value style and rigor.

Color range: all colors of the serial Lada XRAY

The first car to roll off the assembly line received a new color – “Fresh”. In addition, the manufacturers have provided six more color options for the new Lada car. The entire color range of the body is quite large, and currently there are 7 colors:

1. Fire Red number 124;
2. Glacial or white number 221;
3. Gray basalt number 242;
4. Black pearl or black metallic number 676;
5. Platinum, or silver beige number 691;
6. Puma - dark brown, code 265;
7. Fresh - orange, code 199.

Differences from Lada Vesta

So far, X-Ray is inferior to Vesta in the number of colors, he has 7, and Vesta has 12. But new options are already being considered in which the crossover will be able to seriously expand the proposed palette. Vesta is available in the following colors:

1. brown metallic;
2. dark blue metallic;
3. dark green metallic;
4. dark burgundy metallic;
5. silver beige metallic;
6. metallic gray;
7. blue-gray metallic;
8. white;
9. bright yellow;
10. metallic red;
11. bright blue metallic;
12. metallic blue.

List of all Vesta flowers - let's sort them out

People choose car colors for a reason. If a person likes the car, he has chosen his favorite color, then we can already say who he is: sanguine or chaleric. And this is a psychological portrait. Lada Vesta has 9 main colors and 1-2 unique colors in each body. For the sedan it is lime, for the cross it is Mars. For the sw station wagon, this is Carthage.

To expand the Lada Vesta palette, up to nine possible paint options were finalized. These are the most top-end shades among sedans. For the Vesta SW Cross station wagon, colors are presented in a slightly wider range. Shades have certain characteristics. Read the article and you will know everything about them!

Carrying out transportation, delivering the owner from point A to point B, or simply becoming a symbol of wealth, people need a car in 2022.

Practical, reliable, adapted to the realities of Russian roads, AvtoVAZ cars have recently had a stylish design and fashionable design.

Painting features

The appearance of the car is the first thing people pay attention to. There is nothing worse than a poorly chosen shade or poorly executed paint job.

Lada Vesta body colors are metallic (with the exception of white), to obtain the result, it is necessary to follow the stages and technology of car painting

It is important to maintain stylistic unity in the overall appearance

Lada Vesta's color scheme is chosen so that the body color emphasizes the lines of the car's silhouette more than usual and creates a spectacular impression of its appearance.

Colors for Lada Vesta and codes for them

The palette of various shades is wide; for convenience, each of the newly developed paints is assigned a code.

Vesta has developed colors to choose from: White “Glacial” (221) Red “Carnelian” (195) Brown “Angkor” (246) Dark blue “Blues” (492) Dark green “Krypton” (372) Gray-blue “ Phantom" (496) Gray "Pluto" (608) Black "Black Pearl" (676) Silver "Platinum" (691) Everyone has their own preferences in all areas of life, and car paint is purely a matter of taste.

The presented options have unique features.

Angkor has code 246, looks brown

Angkor, or metallic brown, is a popular, frequently chosen sedan color. This shade of milk chocolate goes perfectly with the urban setting, harmoniously diluting the grayness of residential areas.

The color is not easily soiled, pleasing to the eye in the dirtiest weather, successfully hiding dust and minor imperfections. It belongs to the category of classic colors that have unobtrusively and confidently conquered the market.

Practical and versatile, the brown Lada Vesta is suitable for men and women, becoming evidence of the owner's business character.

Glacial has code 221, looks white

White Lada Vesta is the most popular option, since the paint is not metallic; in addition to its advantages, it is extremely inexpensive. The strict arctic shade emphasizes the lines of the silhouette, and the black body elements stand out as much as possible against the background of the car. The rear headlights look like a bright fragment - giving the overall appearance a certain zest.

Quite capricious in handling, in terms of chips - on white, the slightest imperfections, dirt, traces of rain are clearly visible. But I must say that the white color is more practical than black, the black Vesta gets dirty quickly - this color is called: “Die with a rag.” Under the rays of sunlight, the white Lada Vesta sedan sparkles like pure snow, laconically confirming the name - Glacier.

The sixth and seventh original XRAY colors: from “Fresh” to “Puma”

Undoubtedly, of all the options, the elite color “Fresh” stands out, which is available as an additional paid option for the package and costs 19,000 rubles. The English translation, which means “freshness,” emphasized the novelty of the implemented project.

Another color was dark brown metallic (265), original for new X-style cars. It was called “Puma” and is somewhat unusual for the Lada paint palette. The car was presented in this color at many exhibitions and presentations.

Body coating thickness

In order for the paint to cover the car body for a long time and reliably, manufacturers have to think and work a lot. After all, coverage is of great importance. It is not only pleasing to the eye. High-quality paint prevents corrosion of metal parts, delays aging and natural wear of the body. The body covering also affects aerodynamics. In addition, it is necessary to obtain a layer that will easily withstand humidity, sunlight, aggressive environments and significant temperature changes. This coating must withstand dust and not be scratched by frequent impacts of small particles that fly at high speed while driving. At the same time, the body should be easy to wash and put in proper shape in a short time.

All of the above requirements depend on the quality of the paint and the preliminary preparation of the body for painting work. The thickness of the layers is of great importance. In recent years, AvtoVAZ has done a decent job of obtaining high-quality body coatings. The main emphasis was placed on achieving the level of European production. Thus, the predecessors of LADA XRay were covered with paint of the following thickness:

• LADA KALINA – 60–90 microns;
• LADA PRIORA – 65–100 microns;
• LADA GRANTA – 90–100 microns.

Not everything is so rosy

Along with visible advantages, the domestic car LADA X-RAY has shortcomings and pronounced disadvantages.

Owners complain about the following typical problems with the model:

1. Robotic gearbox with one clutch.
   According to many car enthusiasts and experts, this unit is the most problematic. Initially, the biggest drawback was the very short service life of the clutch. Recently, manufacturers installed a reinforced unit, but they could not get rid of the problems. The lack of another mechanical alternative discourages potential buyers.
2. Many complaints are caused by the cramped interior of the car, which is noticeably noticeable even when compared with the Lada Vesta model.
   The lack of free space is felt both behind the wheel and in the back row. Regardless of height, every passenger here feels tightness in their knees. In addition, criticism is caused by the lack of modern amenities inside the cabin. There is no comfortable armrest for the driver, illumination of the rear row of seats, cruise control function, heated steering wheel and seats.
3. Narrow pedal assembly.
   The pedals of this car cause complaints from most drivers. The unit, transferred from French cars, is so narrow that when driving a car you can easily confuse the gas and brake pedals. At the same time, the manufacturer does not intend to finalize the design in the near future.
4. An increase in the level of passive safety is achieved by a certain width of the racks. Due to the small dimensions of the body, this factor negatively affects the level of visibility from the car interior. This is caused by the proximity of the pillars to the driver.
5. The lack of all-wheel drive is often considered a disadvantage of the X-RAY model. It is especially lacking against the backdrop of the relatively high ground clearance. The manufacturer is in no hurry to fix this problem.

Thus, this car is quite controversial. It has both advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, the majority of domestic owners of the LADA X-RAY model are satisfied with this car.

Warranty for more than ten years: dream or reality

Having applied new technologies in the production of a high hatchback, Russian automakers did not lose sight of the galvanizing, painting and welding process. These procedures must be carried out directly at the car production site to ensure high quality. According to management's assumptions, the body of the Lada X-Ray can last up to 12 years without additional treatments. This limit is significantly ahead of all previously offered guarantees.

The basis for the longevity of the body is galvanization. This processing method minimizes metal aging and prevents corrosion. AvtoVAZ relatively recently began using this method of protection on production vehicles. So far, not all parts of the Lada X-Ray are subject to anti-corrosion treatment. Particular attention is paid to the most vulnerable parts of the new crossover. These include: pillars, doors and bottom. This is done without fail. The body is selectively coated, but according to AvtoVAZ management, soon all Lada cars will receive a 100% galvanized body, which will be made in the factory. This is what will significantly extend the life of each machine. Depending on whether the body is galvanized or not, the price of the car is determined. Therefore, this moment, of course, will influence the rise in price of cars.

Exterior

The appearance of the new hatchback has long remained a stumbling block. The concept shown in 2012 made a serious bid for major changes that began to occur in the activities of AvtoVAZ. He gave way to the X style, which will be associated with all Lada cars.

At the same time, the management of AvtoVAZ did everything to make the new generation cars, with all their quality, available to the majority of ordinary people, and they succeeded. Serial X Ray of 2016 lost some form, but was able to distinguish himself in many other respects.

For the first time, LED optics were used on a domestic production car. True, so far in the form of daytime running lights. There were plans for the main headlights, but increasing the price of the crossover was not part of AvtoVAZ’s plans.

Galvanization

A coating that protects the car body from the environment can be applied in several ways. One of them is thermal or hot. In this case, the zinc alloy covers the car body at a time when it has not yet left the assembly line. At AvtoVAZ, this option is used for expensive modifications of the Lada. Thermal galvanizing creates the most tangible protection that can last for many years.

The second method involves galvanizing individual parts. This is often used on mid-spec cars when it is necessary to maintain a certain price. After all, galvanizing significantly adds to the cost of each car. Metal parts are dipped into a bath of zinc solution, where, under the influence of electric current, zinc particles are deposited onto the metal being coated.

There is a third option. This method is widely used in mass production, despite the more complex process. It processes small body parts. Each part is exposed to zinc, iron and manganese salts. The next step is thorough priming. After the preliminary layer is obtained, it is covered with zinc paint, where special attention is paid to the dispersion of zinc. The latter option is not considered full-fledged galvanizing, but it still stops corrosion for a long time.

To the future in everything new

The compact crossover LADA XRay has truly revolutionized the perception of domestic B-class cars. This is evidenced not only by the original color “Puma” or “Fresh”. Lada X-Ray has its own 1.8 liter engine and AMT gearbox, which has not previously been used on domestic cars. The minimum configuration of the Optima has so many options that more advanced classes cannot handle it. This is indicated by safety systems, from airbags to sophisticated electronics. High quality radio, central locking with remote control and much more. And at the same time, the prices of Lada X Ray are much more attractive than those of competitors. Equipment with the addition of “Comfort” has air conditioning. The “Top” version boasts a multimedia system with navigation, heated windows and seats, and LED lights. And all this in the price range from 589 to 723 thousand rubles.

Lada X Ray Cross appeared at the end of last year and received 4x4 all-wheel drive. Actually, the Renault Sandero Stepway front-wheel drive platform simply does not imply this. The car received original bumpers, a plastic protective body kit and several additional transmission modes. Naturally, all this affected the price and equipment of the 2022 model year car.

The ground clearance of the LADA XRAY Cross was increased to 215 mm from 195 on the standard XRAY Cross. Large 17-inch wheels of original design were installed. But the main feature of the XRAY Cross is the special settings of the power unit and stability control system (ESC). A special LADA Ride Select washer selector on the instrument panel allows you to activate suspension and transmission algorithms for overcoming snow, sand and mud, as well as a sports mode for dynamic and safe driving. In some cases, simulating inter-wheel locks for a single-wheel drive vehicle is an ideal solution, since it is cheap and does not require major technological changes to the design. The main thing is that this electronics can work without failures.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of the car include the following performance characteristics:

• high ground clearance,
• reliable chassis;
• powerful engine;
• modern stylish look;
• equipped with modern safety and driver assistance systems;
• acceptable price.

All this makes the car popular and in demand. It’s too early to talk about shortcomings; we need to wait for feedback from the owners. However, something can be noted now. The technical characteristics of the car have already brought it so close to SUVs that all that is missing from this segment is all-wheel drive.

Traditionally, at the end of the outgoing year and the beginning of the new year, dealers hold sales of stocks of cars collected last year. Naturally, the more inventory, the more the manufacturer is willing to make discounts. At the beginning of 2022, the discount on X Ray Cross is a respectable 50 thousand rubles. Apparently there are still a lot of unsold cars.

The choice of exterior colors for the XRay Cross in 2022 differs from the standard set. Instead of the Puma color, customers are offered the golden orange metallic Amber (248). A total of 7 palette colors are available. Base color is white “Glacial” (221). For other body colors you will have to pay an additional 12,000 rubles. These are the following metallized colors: red “Fire Red” (124), gray-beige “Basalt Gray” (242), the same “Amber” (248), dark brown “Cashmere” (283), black “Black Pearl” (676), silver “Platinum” (691).

We offer you to see an approximate image of the color scheme of the Lada XRay Cross body this year. Naturally, the picture cannot convey the fullness of color, especially metallics, but you can get a general idea. The color numbers are shown in the picture below.

Description for each body color

1. Glacier. Classic soiled white color without any special features. Its main advantage is that it is free. The downside will be the constant feeling of contamination of the body due to the rapid settling of dust and the ingress of dirt that cannot be hidden.
2. Fiery. We are pleased with the manufacturer’s departure from the usual shades of red. The fiery color will definitely appeal to the female half of car owners. Men should be careful with him.
3. Basalt. Somewhere between green, white and grey. Quite an original color for our roads, where conservatism prevails in body colors. It can be considered an option for living outside the city.
4. Amber. Quite the lightest amber of all the possible ones. A pleasant soft shade suitable for calm and balanced drivers who are accustomed to a measured life. Small abrasions on this metallic paint are almost invisible.
5. Cashmere. The name alone indicates business style. The crossover looks solid, but does not have the usual exterior. Dust and small dirt marks are hidden behind the rich pigment color.
6. Pearl. LADA XRAY Cross becomes outwardly similar to a real SUV costing more than a million. A good opportunity to emphasize your status by buying a car in the middle segment, but meeting the standards of a higher class.
7. Platinum. The name doesn't really reflect what you imagine seeing. The crossover turns out to be somewhat ambiguous: it is not a corporate vehicle and is poorly suited for driving outside the city.

Equipment Lada X Ray Cross “Classic” 2019

The basic configuration for the compact crossover is “Classic”. The equipment is quite good, but the cost of this modification is quite high. What is now included in the basic version will be discussed below. The package includes the following options: • Driver airbag • Front passenger airbag with deactivation function • Rear seat headrests 2 pcs. • ISOFIX child seat anchors • Rear door lock against opening by children • Automatic door locking when driving • Automatic hazard warning lights during emergency braking • Automatic door unlocking and collision warning lights • Immobilizer • Security alarm • LED daytime running lights • ERA-GLONASS emergency warning system • Rear wheel disc brakes • Anti-lock braking system with electronic brake force distribution (ABS, EBD) • Brake Assist System (BAS) • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with shutdown function • Traction Control System (TCS) • System hill start assist (HSA) • Protection of the engine and engine compartment • On-board computer • Gear shift prompt in the instrument cluster • Rear seat with folding backrest in a 60/40 ratio • Instrument panel.

The engine lives up to its stated power—acceleration is brisk. It's a pity that after 4000 rpm his enthusiasm sours. The gears are selected well, the shifting mechanism is quite accurate - no problems. And everything is not bad with the brakes (Lifan was the only one in the test with rear disc mechanisms). The mediocre information content of the drive prevented us from receiving a higher rating.

The X50 is not afraid of broken roads, except that the vibrations transmitted to the steering wheel are too much. But you need to be careful: the engine oil pan and the gearbox housing are not covered with anything. And actively turning the steering wheel is contraindicated - during the test, the front wheels repeatedly clung to the arches.

In general, everything is more or less. With the exception of sound insulation, it seems to be completely absent. At any speed, be it 40 or 140 km/h, you can hear absolutely everything except your own voice. The engine growls, the gearbox shift mechanism clicks. But a pebble flew out from under the wheel into the arch and... I think I heard it plop onto the road.

Conclusion? It is quite possible to consume Chinese cars, seduced by colorful packaging and a pleasant price tag. This might work.

Equipment Lada XRay Cross “Comfort” 2019

In the middle configuration “Comfort” the following options are added: • LADA Ride Select (driving mode selector) • Electronic differential lock (EDL) • Rear seat headrests 3 pcs. • Fog lights • Center armrest with box • Folding front passenger seat backrest • Passenger sun visor with mirror • Glasses case • 12V sockets on the center console, for rear passengers and in the luggage compartment • Drawer under the front passenger seat • Double luggage compartment floor • Driver's seat with height adjustment • Power windows on all doors • 3-level heated front seats • Electric drive and heated exterior mirrors • Rear parking sensors

Equipment Lada XRay Cross “Lux” 2019

The most complete crossover package is, of course, Luxe. In this version, customers will be offered the following additional options -

• Fog lights with turning light function • Instrument panel. Color (optional) orange/black • Seat upholstery combined fabric/eco leather. Color (optional) orange/black • Leather steering wheel and gear selector cover • USB socket for rear passengers • Heated steering wheel • Heated rear seats • Heated windshield • Rain and light sensors • Climate control • Cruise control and speed limiter

For an additional 29 thousand rubles in this configuration you can get the Prestige . It includes LED interior lighting, enhanced tinting of the rear windows, a rear view camera and a multimedia system with navigation (7-inch color display with TouchScreen, FM/AM with RDS function, USB, AUX, Bluetooth, Hands free) with 6 speakers.

38-kalina_zr-02_16

Driving does not evoke any vivid emotions. One hundred and six forces are almost completely dissolved in the transmission - the VAZ robot is thoughtful during shifts. However, this is a characteristic feature of all transmissions of this type. A modern automatic or dual-clutch transmission would solve the problem, but it is fantastically expensive.

And in terms of acoustic comfort, the Cross is far from ideal: the engine is well insulated, but the “noise” of the arches and bottom is unimportant, and extraneous sounds are heard through the door seals.

In general, you won’t get any fervent drive from Kalina. But how good it is in our “directions”, be it broken asphalt or a primer! Easily “smoothes out” small irregularities and allows you to confidently rush through the pits. I wish I could “untie” the steering wheel from the road! He, like Lifan, receives noticeable shocks.

As you understand, Kalina is also not without its shortcomings, but it leaves a slightly more subtle aftertaste, which is well worth the additional payment of 20 thousand rubles. And if you take a car with a manual transmission, then the price difference with Lifan will completely disappear.

Photo of Lada X Ray Cross 2022

The crossover version of the tall hatchback looks much better and really looks like a crossover. Large 17-inch wheels with Continental tires and a slightly wider track make the car look more brutal. But don’t forget, this car is not suitable for real off-road conditions. But it looks very impressive. See photos below.

Photos of the Lada X Ray Cross 2019 interior

In the cabin, the wretched and uncomfortable chairs from Sandero Stepway were finally replaced and seats with increased lateral support were installed. The steering wheel was adjusted for reach, and the design of the rear sofa was changed.

Detailed video review and test drive of new products from the domestic automobile industry.

Technical characteristics of Lada XRay Cross 2022

• Body length - 4171 mm
• Width - 1810 mm
• Height - 1645 mm
• Curb weight - from 1295 kg
• Gross weight - 1650 kg
• Wheelbase - 2592 mm
• Front and rear wheel track - 1503/1546 mm, respectively
• Trunk volume - 361 liters
• Trunk volume with seats folded - 1207 liters (1514 l.)
• Fuel tank volume - 50 liters
• Tire size - 215/50 R17
• Ground clearance (clearance) - 215 mm

In terms of external dimensions, the Cross turned out to be slightly longer than the usual Lada XRay due to different bumpers. New wheels made it possible to increase the track, as well as the protective body kit and the width of the body. Due to the standard roof rails, the height of the car is also nominally greater. Despite the new seats and chairs, the cabin is still a bit cramped, especially for rear passengers. So far the manufacturer has not disclosed sales volumes for this modification, but due to the rather high cost, the level of demand will be low. If you need a more spacious version, then turn your attention to the Lada Largus Cross.

Visibility, dimensions and light

Visibility of the vehicle is excellent, it is much better than in Astra. In my previous car there were problems with this, I even almost had an accident. The mirrors are not bad, the X-Ray has built-in repeaters - this is a plus.

As for the dimensions of the car, my opinion is subjective. I don’t like big cars and I don’t like being cramped with other passengers, so I prefer small hatchbacks, which, alas, are not very popular in our market. Astra was big for me. Its width and poor visibility combined with small clearance created significant restrictions when choosing a parking space. X-Ray is an ideal option for me in this regard.

In front there is exactly enough space for two people to stay comfortably, and no more. For me, there is enough space in the back, but it can be a bit cramped for three passengers. X-Ray Prestige has ideal conditions for my needs.

As for the light, there are LED DRLs, they are bright and visible from afar. Rear optics - parity. For visibility and the size of the vehicle, solely in my subjective opinion, I give it a big plus.
